building gcc 3.0 on sparc-sun-solaris2.8

building gcc 3.0 on sparc-sun-solaris2.8

[Peter van Hoof]

To whom this may concern,

When I tried to compile gcc 3.0 for my machine, certain targets would
not compile.

# ../gcc-3.0/configure --prefix=/opt/local
Configuring for a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 host.
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
     target-libffi target-boehm-gc target-zlib target-libjava
    (Any other directories should still work fine.)

I was surprised at this since version 2.95.1 of libjava compiled OK on
my machine. The remaining targets of gcc 3.0 compiled OK. I have not
decided yet whether I will install gcc 3.0.

Kind regards,

Peter van Hoof.

configure.in says:

      # According to Gerald Pfeifer <pfeifer@dbai.tuwien.ac.at>, libjava
      # won't build correctly on Solaris 8 if there's a
      # previously-installed version of GCC in the configured prefix.
      # This problem does not show up on earlier versions of Solaris.

--enable-libgcj should get the Java run-time built and installed.
